How is life treating you?

Oh boy, probably as poorly as it possibly can. Firstly autism alone is probably hard enough but I live in a family that is chaotic and dysfunctional a lot of the time, hard to improve and move forward. I have medication for schizophrenia which really replaces a severe issue with minor to moderate annoying issues like sedation, slowed thinking, inflexibility, hunger, tiredness I guess its a step up from being a patient for life in a ward setting or small community.

My mum at least now understands why my main meds are important but only my dad is willing to let me seek out some other med to counteract rapid mood swings and depression depending on the dose im on while my mum seems to want me to prove her point by enduring with minimal medical support. My family don't have friends we are sheltered in and have unusual views about health and governments which is advantageous in some ways like it being a partial solution to not take med after med for side effects which holistics seems to manage but it's very isolating if i don't leave my home premises.

I don't mean to sound entitled but I have zero success with women at all and in most cases it was all in my head for years, I'd say even key crushes were me misconstruing or being taken advantage of growing up, some girls in my year would pet literally and figuratively.

The issue (i want to address again im meaning to be arrogant) i have is that i see problems before they happen and it can be very daunting and depressing plus im sensitive so I feel like im putting coins into the arcade machine with everyone especially my mum who has habits and behaviours that annoy and make me feel infantilised and trapped, given im 23 year old man in an economy that is doing really poorly along with mass immigration, political messages pushed out everywhere some of it good a lot of it bad in my opinion, so moving out is very unlikely given i can't change my environment at home - my mum has decided im this way and doesn't respect my independence in the slightest.

It wasn't all bad for me though before 17 when illness and lockdown spilled out and I would play video games for hours yet i wonder if the problems were always there and now im older i see them rather than running from them.

Not very well, I was bullied like crazy, then ignored like crazy. Now days I'm a shut in because people hate me.
